Whether you have just started practicing yoga or are a seasoned practitioner, the capabilities or limitations of the back are of particular interest. Knowing more about the functionality of the back and how to align your posture optimally will prepare your body for practicing more advanced asana, all the while maintaining a holistic and embodied practice.

Daily Schedule

The day begins with applied anatomy, alignment principles and therapeutic exercises. These will be presented and then put directly into practice in order to reinforce understanding. At the end of each day, the focus will be on practical implementation of what was covered. Two breaks of 60-90 minutes are included over the course of the day.

For whom is this Modular Therapy Course (MTC) of interest?
